Taking the MSF!

[spectre]

So, I got my 2nd paycheck from my new job at TacoBell  ::) ;D and I scheduled my MSF course for Monday and Tuesday from 7:30-5:00 and I'm really excited! if I pass, I'll get a certificate that I take to the DMV and it waives every test except the vision test, and I have REALLY good vision  :D (pun intended)  ;) once I pass the vision test, I'll receive my M endorsement! :D wish me luck!

Spec, you don't need luck, you need to do well.  I hope you do very well and luck has nothing to do with it.  Once out on the road you have to rely on your knowledge, skills, defensive driving habits, etc., and if luck falls your way so much the better, but please don't count on LUCK (count on Lucky,not luck).  I'm sure you will do well. ;)

The MSF classs is well organized and uses a lot of different teaching methods to allow for all different learning styles.  My only beef when I took it was the bike they gave me had a bad clutch.

well I finished the class yesterday, and I have 3 things to say.
1. you have to be an olympic gymnast to get on a dirt bike! xD
2. dirtbike seats are HARD and,
3. the heat index was 102. in the shade. I was surrounded by blacktop in a 10lb BLACK leather jacket, and helmet, I think I lost some weight :o
But in all seriousness, the class was GREAT, best $225.00 I have ever spent, hads down. I have become a stupedously better rider in those two days, before, I didn't know how to swerve, emergency brake, emergency brake in a curve, and I have gained so many skills, and a lot more trust in the bike. I passed the written test with a 100% and I had the highest score on the skilles test in my class, nearly a perfect score, but I decelerated in the turn (In my defence, I had that DIRTBIKE leaned over so far that I was scraping the peg, so I HAD to slow down a little :p) and I flew through the cone weave perfectly at 20MPH xD I have all my certificates and everything, and now I just have to go to the DMV and show it to them, all I'll receive my "M" licence!!!! then, all I need is to title my vision, get tires, brakes insurance, and I'm good to go!! after I got home, I felt guilty so I sat on her, and going from a dirt bike, the vision with 82' bars feels like a sports bike! :D I'm soo happy I took that class, and I feel confident that if need be, what I learned there WILL save my life one day.  :)

Spectre, I hope your misspelled word was stupendously rather than stupidously.  LOL

I have become a stupedously better rider in those two days,   :)

Congratulations and don't become overly confident when riding.     BDC
